Image of a slate such as those used by students. This slate shows a drawing of a man shooting an arrow at a bird next to a tree, math problems, the name "Luther Otakte," and an example of writing referring to teacher Miss Burgess. Along the side is written "Choate Photographer." 

It is probable but not certain that all the work on this slate was done by student Luther Standing Bear (Sioux nation) who was also known by the name Ota Kte. This slate is not dated, but in another image, almost certainly taken at the same date, the slate has a copy of a letter dated June 25, 1880, so this slate has been dated to 1880 also.

Studio portrait of Marcus Poko (standing right) and an unidentified male student, both wearing school uniforms.

The unidentified student had previously been tentatively identified as Otto Wells, but based on other photos of Wells it does not appear to be him. A copy of this image was sent to the Army Heritage Education Center with the two students identified as "Markis Poko and John Buckiman." There is no student at Carlisle with a name similar to John Buckiman. 

A photograph of a studio portrait, identified as "Friday, a visitor to the Indian school." This appears to be Chief Friday of the Arapaho, but it is not clear when or if he did actually visit the Carlisle Indian School.

This photograph was taken by John N. Choate, but the photographer of the original portrait is unknown. It may have also been Choate.
